"As expected, only one."
As soon as Azekiel saw that only one of the five corpses was looking at him, he realized something. The Corpses... They weren't just mindless beings that attacked without thinking. They could sense the danger level of a person. That was also why only one of the five looked at him.
Azekiel knew he was strong, but seeing the girl fight, he understood that her offensive power was much higher than him. That also needed most of the Corpses to give her attention.
At best, he expected two Corpses to come to stop him while three left behind, distracted by Lenora. However, it was even better for him since only one of the Corpses arrived to block him, underestimating him a bit too much.
As soon as Azekiel reached near the corpse, he dropped to his knees, avoiding the sharp claws of the Corpse. His body slid past the Corpse.
He swiftly got back on his knees before the corpse could react.
